July Newsletter Highlights from Picnic Hill Create!

Hope everyone’s summer is off to a great start! Although many people use the new year in January to start new habits or learn new skills, I tend to find the summer freedom inspiring for that as well. I made a list recently of some of the new skills I want to learn or improve upon this summer and it included photography, watercoloring, and art journaling. What new skills are you wanting to explore? I want to invite you to check out the Pinterest page for Picnic Hill Create, as well as the new “Helpful Info” tab on the Picnic Hill Create website. I’m working on developing helpful graphics and tutorials to share what I’m learning about all things paper crafting. You’ll also find images of cards, mini albums, and scrapbook layouts that have been created by customers to help inspire you.

In other news, the store hours will be changing slightly starting on August 1. Wednesdays will see increased hours of 10 am to 5 pm and Fridays will change to 10 am to 5 pm. See the graphic below for complete store hour information, and feel free to call or email with questions.

Happy Crafting!
